Fondest memory: In june 2003. Pope John Paul 2th visited Rijeka.
I have never seen so many people in Belveder and in front of the residence where he stayed, like those days.
Ceremony had been watched by 100000 people; many of them spent all night on Delta just to be closer when Pope Wojtyla comes.

Favorite thing: The City Clock Tower, which was erected upon the former sea-gateway into the fortified city, dominates the main pedestrian area of the town called Korzo. The front of the tower reveals the several Baroque phases with a richly decorated portal.
The tower is flanked by early-classicist palaces, built in the late 18th century after destructions of the city walls.

Favorite thing: You need to see Trsat castle. A great view on Rijeka! Also, a monastery with church of Our Lady of Trsat the Queen of Adriatic...
Also follow the Tourist magistrala...
In Korzo pedestrian you''ll find Tourist Office for informations.

Favorite thing: The riva of Rijeka, started from Zabica Square, with Royal Navy Palace the first building on the right side of the picture.
During the Hapsburg rules, the town of Rijeka was the biggest port of the empire and the seat of the Hapsburg Roxal navy.

Favorite thing: The huge Palace "Adria", named after the first shipping company, was designed by F.Matiasic and finished in 1897, today it is the headquarter of the liner Jadrolinija, the largest liner of Croatia.
The palace is situated on riva, facing the huge port of Rijeka, one of the biggest commercial port of the Adriatic.

Favorite thing: This is a shot of Rijeka as it slowly disappears on the horizon. Taken from a ferry vessel called 'Dubrvonik' (headed for a city of the same name).

Fondest memory: Unfortunately, the fondest memory was leaving it. I say this because the boat trip was spectacular.

Favorite thing: We had snuck into an apartment building hoping to get a better peek at the harbour area. Instead, we got a view of the hilltop residential neighbourhoods. It seems like this would be a nice place to live.
